Preface
This quick start provides examples and procedures for including a PanelView
Plus terminal in a
Logix5000
control system over an EtherNet/IP network. The programming examples are not
complex, and offer easy solutions to verify that devices are functioning and communicating
properly.
Before Using This Publication
You can only use the tasks described in this publication after first completing some prerequisite
tasks with a Logix5000 controller. For example, before you can add a PanelView Plus terminal to
an RSLogix
5000 project, as described on page 21, you must first create the project in a
Logix5000 controller.
Table 1
describes the tasks you must complete before using this publication.
For more information on how to complete these tasks with specific Logix5000 controllers, see
the Integrated Architecture
: Logix5000 Control Systems Quick Starts Quick Reference,
publication IASIMP-QR024
.
IMPORTANT
This publication describes basic example tasks you can complete when using a PanelView Plus terminal on an
EtherNet/IP network. The tasks described are not the only tasks you can complete with the terminal on an EtherNet/IP
network.
IMPORTANT
The example graphics shown in Table 1 - Required Tasks To Complete Before Using This Quick Start on page 6 are for
CompactLogix 5370 L3 controllers. Depending on the Logix5000 controller you are using, the specific steps to complete
the tasks described in the table might vary.

Preface
Other Logix5000 Control System Quick Starts
This quick start describes how to use one device on one network in a Logix5000 control system.
Typically, though, a Logix5000 control system includes more than the controller and one device
on one network.
For example, if a Logix5000 control system operates on an EtherNet/IP network, in addition to
a controller, power supply, and communication modules, the system might use remote I/O
modules, drives and HMI terminals.
Other quick starts describe how to use different devices on different networks in Logix5000
control systems. For more information, see the Integrated Architecture: Logix5000 Control
Systems Quick Starts Quick Reference, publication IASIMP-QR024
.

Install FactoryTalk View Studio Software
Throughout the installation, click Next to use default software installation settings, except
where indicated.
This section describes how to install the software from a DVD. The following steps describe
clicking on FactoryTalk View Site Edition. This set of steps installs both the FactoryTalk View
Site Edition and Machine Edition. You can choose Machine Edition when you launch the
software after installation.
1. Verify that all Rockwell Automation software processes are shutdown.
2. When the launch screen appears, use
this path to begin the installation
process: FactoryTalk
View>6.00.00>exe.
IMPORTANT
The tasks described in this quick start use a 1769-L36ERM controller. That controller requires that
you use FactoryTalk View Studio software, version 6.00.00. Therefore, this chapter describes how to
use FactoryTalk View Studio software, version 6.00.00.
You can use FactoryTalk View Studio software, version 5.01.00 or earlier (known as FactoryTalk View
Studio software) with some Logix5000 controllers. If you choose to use FactoryTalk View Studio
software, version 5.01.00 or earlier, be aware that some of the tasks described in this chapter may be
completed differently in version 5.01.00 or earlier.
Your computer have FactoryTalk Services Platform software installed on it before you can use the
FactoryTalk View Studio software. This quick start assumes you have FactoryTalk Services Platform
installed on your computer, do so now before proceeding with the rest of the tasks described in this
chapter.
You can install from the same DVD file or downloaded file for FactoryTalk View Studio software.
TIP
As installation progresses and depending on your system configuration, you may be prompted to complete additional
set-up tasks not described in this chapter.
Follow those prompts and enter information as applies to your installation.
